SCYTHE OF GRIM | THE FAREWELL INTERVIEW (Jesus Maldonado)

With very little out there about Scythe Of Grim beyond their music, we sat down with founding guitarist Jesus Maldonado to put the band’s history on record before it ends. He covers their beginnings in Fontana, their place in the SoCal deathcore revival, life on tour, and an honest account of why the band is breaking up.
